Hello Harvey,
How did all this started in the beginning? During these past couple of years did you have normal sleep as well? Do you keep some sort of diary? Have you managed to completely forget about this issue and not think about it for longer period? I couldn’t do this, I feel bothered with this problem every time.
I’m not sleeping almost at all since October. It started from panic attack in the middle of the night and doctors are sure that this is post Covid effect cased by sensitivity of nervous system. I really hoped that I will be able to manage and control the situation in short time. But day by day drowsiness is making my life horrible. I don’t sleep, or even if I sleep I don’t remember that. My sleep window is from 10.00 to 12.30. Only in the start of the night I loose my consciousness (I mean probably I sleep, because I don’t feel how other members of family go to bed, switch everything off) then I wake up. And whole night my mind keeps talking, it keeps making plans, sometimes it goes with ridiculous unnecessary thoughts. I tried everything. Mindful breathing, yoga, calming music, many things. had 2 different therapies with various medicaments prescribed by neuropathologists.
What should be done to survive with this for longer? Did you notice any other physiological impacts of sleeping disorder? Morally, it is too hard for me. Sometimes I cry. But I am expecting to keep going even with this. I want to live normal life.
Within 3 months I noticed that some changes happening in the digestion. The most painful part are my eyes. They are itchy, dry, eyelids are heavy and always sleepy.
I wish you and all who are here to get back to normal sleeping habits!
I am so so happy for you. Was following your comments. I hope I will also be able to sleep at least one hour without my brain thinking or talking. Living through almost the same problem as was yours. Have tight sleep always!
Thank you for your replies!!!
I had only CoVid in July scottctj
Since then have various problems in my body, like stings in the muscles, back ache sometimes. I definitely have worries because of current uncertainty. Also every time when I hear about someone’s getting CoVid I get stressed. These things are not controllable. Thank you for the video https://insomniacoach.com/forums/users/martin/
You know I want to add that I also have sleepphobia. I wake up constantly or I don’t sleep because I am scared that I will stop breathing if I sleep. Even I assure myself that it is ok if you die, life ends sometimes just go to sleep. My mind doesn’t listen to me. I had Medical treatment for 10 days. Medications didn’t help much. I will watch more videos with your instructions.
Thanks again! I hope I will sleep eventually much better. At least half an hour sleep without my brain thinking could be enough for me to continue the day. I wouldn’t have created problem with that if it happens.
